fifth ☕✨ tinder / moonlacing mingle!

[cadeuces]

( Ping! Your profile needs updating, there's hot singles in your area, it's a swipe frenzy— you all know the push updates with dating apps, right? Maybe you need to brush up your Chroma to buy a place in Amegahara and it just sounds like it's worth a shot, or someone gets ahold of your device and "helps" you along. Upload some new selfies with that new Moonblessing of yours, drop in an About Me, and get to swiping!

And Please— someone please come up with a better name than Prismates because the moons alone make sure we're more than just mammals and no one's obligated to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. We all know the drill by now, don't we? Swipe right or left, yes or no, mark yourself down to moonlace and flirt or just rile a friend up with a big red X— try to include an opening message! Happy Hump Day? )

pidge pls

[vanishings]

What do you mean "too"?

( also??? this isn't a conversation he wants to have. ever. )

But, a bit, you could say. There's a change to my teeth and my hand and feet.

[pidgeypidge]

"Too" as in I know a couple of other people who are Sanguis.

[And Shiro's somehow managed to roll the same "blessing" all three times he's been here. Hmm. Hmm.]

Makes sense. Sanguis are the fighty ones.

[vanishings]

( not for long, don't read too far into it, pidge. )

Can't say that's something I hear too much about myself.

( afer all, he fights to survive, not because he likes it. )

[pidgeypidge]

[But Shiro, she reads too much into everything. That's just who she is at this point.]

Yea? How much have you heard?

[He should've gone through a couple of Sanguis cycles by this point so he'd probably know better than she would.]

One of my friends turns into a big wolfy dragon.

[vanishings]

( he's just. going to casually... ignore that first question. haha. nothing to see here, gonna slide on by that, thanks. )

A wolfy dragon, huh? How does that work?

[pidgeypidge]

[Don't think she doesn't notice that, mister Shirogane. But it's understandable.]

The "official" story is that the magic of the three moons has the ability to change us in ways that correspond with one of them. You're a Sanguis. I'm an Iris. I haven't really been able to figure out much more than that, but I've been keeping track of monthly changes since the beginning.

It's fascinating. And annoying, if you're an Iris.

[vanishings]

( at the very least, pidge should already know that shiro doesn't like talking about himself. so, he doesn't feel too guilty by gently ignoring that. just a 🤏 lil bit. )

Honestly, I think it's kind of annoying across the board, but... I have heard that Iris can be rougher than the others.

How have you been with all of this?

[pidgeypidge]

[If it was anyone but Shiro, she might've been annoyed by the distinct lack of talking-about-himself. But she's pretty guilty of playing favorites, so it's probably fine.]

Oh yea, you're entirely correct about that. The blessings are weird as fuck. It's just that some of them seem to be less intrusive than others. Like Cordis just gets super speed and ice magic.

And you know. I've been fine. For the most part.

[vanishings]

( he doesn't mean to. it's just... still hard for him to be open about things, especially to people he knows and cares about. it's natural for him to want to help shoulder their burdens, but he's still yet to realize that when you have friends they want to do the same. for as smart and wise as shiro can be, he's dumb af about shit like this. )

For the most part? That sounds like something's happened.

[pidgeypidge]

[If anyone can understand finding it hard to be open about things, it's Pidge. She's gotten better about opening up, sure, but it's still easier to just clam up when something's bothering her.]

A lot of things have happened, Shiro. But in the interest of sparing you from potentially awkward information, how much do you want to know?
